Classic fighting video games have done their share to inspire young martial artists. The olden days of Tekken, Tekken Tag Team and Street Fighter can often be recounted by younger martial artists.
With both series of video games still chugging along today, each franchise has continued to bring fragments of martial arts into the mainstream. For Eric Jacobus, it was time to step things up a notch.
The YouTuber and martial artist decided to use his video editing wit to take on Street Fighter’s Ryu for real. Acting out the skill set of Tekken’s Kazuya character, another karate oriented figure, Jacobus took on the Street Fighter poster boy.
Jacobus can be seen performing strikes against the two dimensional character in the video below.
